I just borrowed a Gemini X10 and hooked it up to my A1000 and am very confused.

I got it printing screen dump just fine last night, but I never got it to do
an Infocom script properly.  Now, whenever I do a bitmap dump, I get space
between the pirint pass lines on the paper, like an extra line feed problem.

More specific questions:

1)  What are the 4 dip switches on the back for?  How should I have them set?

2)  I have used both the MPS_1000 and Epson drivers and both produce the same
	results for graphics (text unknown), execept that the MPS_1000 driver
	does not like the InitPrinter tool and prints strange characters.
	Should I be using a different driver?

3)  My cable is simple and homemade... I have a 22 wire cable, with 10 grounds
	and pins 1-11 on the DB25 going to the right places on the Cent-36
	connector (according to the RKM hardware manual _and_ my A1000 manual.
	Am I ignoring a "common" workaround?

Configuration:  A1000, KS33.180, WB 33.61 (A500/A2000 1.2 WB), 
		Star Gemini X10, no Fast RAM

Thanks in advance,
-ethan
